SRU vs Backport

Hi MOTU,

The following bug [0] was recently fixed though Debian in version
0.8.6-2 of the GNS3 package. This has has successfully been imported
into Trusty, but the bug was first reported in 13.04 (Raring), so is
still present in 13.10 (Saucy).

When I took took over maintenance of the GNS3 package, I had to bump
the dependency on dynamips to version 0.8.4.

So I believe both packages would need to be updated to prevent the
dependency breaking.

The problem arises that whilst GNS3 0.86-2 fixes a bug making it a
candiate for SRU, dynamips does not and simply imports the new
upstream version, which would be a backport.

What would be the preferred method to handle this situtation?

Regards
 Daniel
